HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. m ttfeg Diabetic asks for advice By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB — I have diabetes mellitus and I have lost my job because of a gradual deterioration physically. Every time I tried to put in a good day’s work I had a reaction from either low blood sugar or insulin I had taken. The amount of insulin was decided that morning on the basis of a Clinitest tablet and urine sample. Because of the loss of weight and a general weaken ed condition I have increased my diet and insulin intake which seems to work if I have complete freedom to adjust physical activity according to each day’s needs. I have no other choice but to accept the fact that this is not going to change, which is dif ficult. The fact that I have always expected to work for a living has served as a mental block to reality. I am only 48 years old. The financial situa tion will not let me forget that either. Why isn’t diabetes mellitus given a different distinction from more manageable diabetes and why aren’t peo ple more informed? I would also like to know more about a possible im provement in blood sugar monitoring. I think it is referred to as continuous monitoring. DEAR READER - Diabetes mellitus is diabetes mellitus whether it is mild or severe. Diabetes mellitus may occur early in life in some people and much later in others as the natural course of disease in different people. That is one reason why it is hard to determine the hereditary pattern of diabetes. I am sending you two issues of The Health Letter, numbers 3-10, (Diabetes: The Sweet Sickness) and 3-11 (Diabetes: Diagnosis, Prevention and Manage - ment.) It will help you with Toni and the captain are still shipmates By Dick Kleiner DEAR DICK: Could you please tell me if there is any truth to the rumor I read about the Captain and Tennille, that love hasn’t kept them together and they have gone their separate ways in their personal lives. I saw. them here less than a month ago and everything seemed very lovey-dovey. C.IM. WEAVER, Tucson, Ariz. It’s still lovey-dovey. In fact, Toni says they are closer than ever. They’re now off on a 92-city tour, and you have to be more than just friends to do that. Toni says she's heard the rumors, they disturb her, and she asked me to tell everybody that it isn’t true. OK, you’ve been told. DEAR DICK: What became of Groucho Marx’ daughter? She used to be on his show some times when she was a young girl. MARIE BASCOM, Stockton, Calif. Groucho has two daughters, Melinda and Miriam. It was Melinda who used to be on his show when she was a tot. But she quit show business entirely when she grew up, and now is a practicing housewife and mother, living in Malibu, Calif. DEAR DICK: The Marx Brothers are my favorites and I’ve seen their movies over and over. I read where Gummo died and the article said he never appeared with his brothers in the movies. Is this true? I feel as if he was in some of the movies with his brothers. MRS. R.M. STAGGS, Baldwin Park, Calif. No, Gummo was outo. He’d worked with Groucho, Harpo and Chico on the stage for a while, but quit the act years before they came to films. Zeppo was in a few movies, and perhaps you’re thinking of him. DEAR DICK: I heard Peter Marshall has artificial legs. Is this true? R.F., Fort Lauderdale, Fla. No. DEAR DICK: Could you please tell me what kind of car Kris Kristofferson drove in the movie, “A Star Is Born.” L.L., Billings, Mont. It was a Ferrari. DEAR DICK: I have asked everyone I know and even con sulted the local library. No one can remember. Could you possibly tell me the name of Dudley Dooright's horse, if it had a name? You remember, the cartoon character. DIANA MOODY, Warsaw, Ind. Maybe the reason nobody remembers is because it is such an unusual name. Dudley called his horse “Horse.” WINTHROP 7 WHAT DIP THE MARTIAN B SAV TO THE LWP ' ?

The natural production of insulin by a normal person is such that more insulin is released when the blood sugar gets too high and less when it falls. There is no way you can really duplicate this with in sulin medications. That is why the diet and also the physical activity has to be regulated. When physical activity is ex pected to increase it is usually necessary to decrease the in sulin. I would suggest that you avoid any of the foods that release glucose rapidly, specifically all concentrated sweets. You should try to in crease the uncooked vegetables in your diet. There is evidence that uncooked foods are better for diabetics since they decrease the in sulin needs and smooth out the peaks and valleys of blood sugar. Be sure to have plenty of bulk in your meals. There are studies in progress on using continuous ly monitored or sensed blood sugar levels and releasing in sulin in relation to the level at that moment. This should be an important advance when it is available. By providing more constant control of the blood glucose levels it may prevent diabetic neuropathy and eye changes. Also there is hope that transplanted islets of Langerhans where insulin is produced will soon be possi ble. When that technique — now used Experimentally in dogs — is perfected for human use it would provide a means of curing diabetes entirely. Dr. Lamb will answer representative letters of general interest in his column. i NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN I FRANK AND ERNEST by Bob Thoves _-• 1 " Slßll|iiPll fl oh-oh! x oust I 1 I UAAvtS OFF AT ; OUR BOARDING HOUSE with Major Hoopla THIS REMINPS T PRESCOTT PIKE \$ CUT 1 T HIS CREPITiS ME OF THE TIME \ HE CLAIMS HE'S MEETIN* )$0 3f\V THAT WHEN THEV RAN WITH HIS AGENT BUT* EVEN MAIL OUT OF .SHELLS J l FIGURE HE'S POWN APPf?ESSEP AT THE <AT THE LOAN COMPANY )TO OCCUPANT ARTILLERY V PROMISIN' TO PO / GOMES RANGE.'
